You bitch and moan about the Holocaust
A drastic crime in the modern day
Where were you in World War Two
Were you proud of the American Way
Adolph really caught your eye
Ain't it fun to knock the Warsaw Zone
But you turned the other way
When we screwed some of our very own

Manzanar Concentration Camp
It wasn't in a country so far
Manzanar
In fact in your own backyard

Your arm bears a swastika
So vouge in this anger hype
You wanna be fucking cruel
Why don't you wear the stars and stripes
Pearl H. really shook you up
Too close to you and mom
You had to show your real strength
You had to drop A fucking Bomb

Manzanar Concentration Camp
It wasn't in a country so far
Manzanar
In fact in your own backyard

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
